install the libraries

they're usually available over the package manager of your distribution

[bearbeiten]

add the module to apache

edit the file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and add this line 

LoadModule musicindex_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_musicindex.so


[bearbeiten]

share the directory

depending on what config-file you use you might edit "/etc/apache2/conf.d/alias"


to stream music from the local directory /home/foo/music you'd add this: 

Alias /music /home/foo/music/
<Directory /home/foo/music/>
    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymlinks
    AllowOverride       Indexes
    MusicLister         On
    MusicSortOrder      album disc track artist title length bitrate freq
    MusicFields         title artist length bitrate
    MusicAllowDownload  Off
    MusicAllowStream    On
    MusicAllowSearch    On
#    MusicRssItems       Off
    MusicPageTitle      home
    MusicCssDefault     musicindex.css
    MusicCachePath      /tmp/musicindex
#    MusicIceServer     [ice.domain.my]:8000
#    MusicCookieLife    300
</Directory>


[bearbeiten]

restart apache

as root do 

# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart


all done! :D
in this example we'd access the music by browsing to http://localhost/music


[bearbeiten]

simple cosmetics

edit this file: /var/www/musicindex/musicindex.css


find that tag: 

table#directories div > a.rss {
  font-size: 10pt;
}


and change it to: 

table#directories div > a.rss {
  font-size: 10pt;
  margin-left:200px;
}


you'll have much more overview now because of the space between the directories ; )
